Limestone Fireplace Mantel

A new limestone fireplace mantel defined by its legs: two massive S-curved corbels, each with a high-relief spiral volute at the top, a three-leaf motif at the crown and deep vertical fluting that follows the curve of the stone down to the floor. The header above is plainer, which lets the legs carry the piece. The stone is warm beige and pale sand, fine-grained, with natural mottling that darkens inside the fluting and gives the relief its depth.

It measures 74 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 67 1/2 inches high, with an opening 47 inches wide and 47 1/2 inches high. The stone is new, selected from the European workshop that makes our new French mantels, and the same design can be ordered to a custom opening. The mantel ships in sections with a drawing for the mason.

Set it in an estate living room, a tall dining room, or a library where the fluted legs can be read from the doorway; it works with wrought iron, dark oak and plaster walls. This limestone fireplace mantel is on view by appointment in Marina Del Rey, or we will send more photographs and a quote for delivery.
